It's that time of year again, Christmas hangover and we renew last year's resolutions. Actually, my resolutions are from 2013 and I'm picking away at them. 1. Lose 10 lbs (done, it's back though)2. Pay off credit cards 3. 2:15 half marathon (2:20 so far!)4. Pay off Student Loan . 5. Take family to Sea World (check!)6. Disney Family Trip (One and done for this family). A few years ago, I designed the simple printable to track bill payments.

So, if you are planning on getting organized and want a fast & simple place to track monthly expenditures, download it here. The first column is where you list your payees. Each monthly column, I include that month's payment amount. At a quick glance, I can see what's been paid and what's left. Getting paid once monthly, this is important information so nothing gets left behind.Alright 2015.......here I come!

Is the Xbox your worst enemy? Since Christmas, it's ALL my kids want to do. But, it is the best bribe going. In order to "control" xbox time, I use an kitchen timer and my boys must "earn" xbox time. Additionally, they must have been "good" all day.

Here is a list I came up with for ways to earn some evening screen time.
